The kiss of the Prince

The kiss of the Prince                                                                              

Every Avatar could be called the Awakener
none having come to teach, words ineffectual

except perhaps as a backdrop.
And all instructions coming down to this: 

You can’t get there from here
by any will or effort of your own.

Dormant souls require the kiss of the Prince.
Can’t bear otherwise to leave their beds;

tear themselves away from the latest
exploits of their fantastical selves.

Only a perfect surrender bestowed from Perfection
(by perfect grace) can pierce the ancient spell

to awaken from its repose
the latent, dreaming soul.

O child of God, all words and ideas
are mere explorations of the dream.
